(^17) He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
(^18) This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created
shall praise the LORD.
(^19) For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD
behold the earth;
(^20) To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
(^21) To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
(^22) When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
(^23) He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
(^24) I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all
generations.
(^25) Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy
hands.
(^26) They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as
a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
(^27) But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
(^28) The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
CHAPTER 103
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
(^2) Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
(^3) Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
(^4) Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and
tender mercies;
(^5) Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
(^6) The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
(^7) He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
(^8) The LORDis merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
(^9) He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
(^10) He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
(^11) For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
(^12) As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
(^13) Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
(^14) For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
(^15) As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
(^16) For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
